Pope Francis Shocks World, Endorses Donald Trump for President
Do we really think that labelling fake news as "FAKE NEWS" will have a beneficial effect?
People who read and believe fake news want to read and believe fake news.
It's like eating a Wagon Wheel. People who eat a Wagon Wheel want to eat a Wagon Wheel. They don't confuse it with an artichoke heart and then stop eating it when you point out that NO, it is not an artichoke heart, but rather fake food.
People who read and believe fake news (like the headline above) are stupid, and don't know they are stupid. People who read and believe fake news, and then stop believing it after you patiently explain to them how absurd it is, are stupid, and they know they are stupid, which is stupider.
For sure, though, it would be nice if all of our problems could be solved with the proper labels.
